Medical chart
Medical charting for clinics
A dermatology lesion map, a physiotherapy range-of-motion score, a psychiatry rating scale and a dental chart are not the same form. They are the same job: write down what you found, where you found it, and how it compares with last time. One chart switches between them, against one patient.

One chart, switched per specialty
Dermatology marks lesions, physiotherapy marks range of motion, dentistry marks teeth and surfaces. Same patient, same record, a different map depending on who is looking.

Findings recorded where they happened
A finding without a location is a note. The chart marks it on the region it concerns, so the next clinician reads a picture rather than a paragraph, and so the same site can be measured again at the next session instead of described again.
- Body and region marking, per finding rather than per visit
- Severity, size and measurement held against the site
- Per-specialty maps: skin, musculoskeletal, respiratory, obstetric, dental
- Free text where the template does not fit, without leaving the chart
- Every entry tied to the session it was made in and the clinician who made it
Comparable across the course, not just the visit
This is the part a form cannot do. The sixth physiotherapy session is only meaningful next to the first, and a dermatology protocol is judged on week six against week one. The chart repeats the same measurement and puts the two side by side.
- The same score repeated per session and plotted across the block
- Before and after images held against the protocol, not in a gallery
- What changed since last time, without opening two records
- Progress a patient can be shown at the point you are discussing it
- A course that stopped improving surfaced rather than discovered later
Templates the clinic writes
A chart that only fits the specialty the vendor had in mind is a chart most of your departments will not use. Templates are yours: per specialty, per doctor, changed without a support ticket.
- A template per specialty, and a different one per doctor if they want it
- Required fields where the clinic needs them completed
- Procedure lists that match the price list, so charting and billing agree
- New templates added by the clinic, not requested from support
- Changing a template does not rewrite what was already recorded
Who charts and who reads it
The chart is written by clinicians and read by more people than that, which is why access is not all or nothing.
Reception
Appointments and balances without the clinical file behind them.
Owners
Which protocols complete, which stall, and at which session they stall.
A form per visit versus a chart across the course
Most systems give you somewhere to type. The question is whether what you typed can be compared with what you typed last month.
The way it is done now
- A note per visit, in prose
- Photographs in a phone gallery
- Progress judged from memory
- One form for every department
- Charting and billing kept apart
With Medicolize
- A finding per site, measured
- Before and after against the protocol
- The same score plotted across the block
- A template per specialty, written by the clinic
- Procedures charted from the same list that prices them

Questions
Medical chart — what clinics ask
What is a medical chart in clinic software?
It is the clinical record of what was found and done, held against the part of the body it concerns rather than as free text per visit. In Medicolize it also carries the measurements that make a course of treatment comparable from one session to the next.
Is there a dental chart?
Yes. The chart switches per specialty, and dental is one of them — teeth and surfaces rather than body regions. A centre that runs dentistry alongside dermatology or physiotherapy charts all of it here, on one patient record. A practice that is only dental is better served by Dentolize, where everything is dental by default.
Can each specialty have its own chart?
Yes, and in a polyclinic that is the normal setup. Dermatology charts lesions, physiotherapy charts range of motion and pain scores, psychiatry charts scales — on one patient record, so a patient seen by two departments is still one patient.
Can we attach photographs and scans?
Yes, against the session and the site they belong to. Before and after images sit with the protocol they document rather than in a general attachments folder.
Who can see clinical notes?
Whoever you decide. Access is set per role and per record type, so reception can book and take payment without the clinical file being open to them.
